Best shoe I have ever found. Miracle shoes doing miracles in our home.
My daughter toe walks. We’ve spent a ridiculous amount of money to get her to wear shoes and she’s never has. She’s four and a half. Hundreds of dollars on shoes. I found these on a google search of best shoes for AFOs. Wish I would’ve found these years ago.First off she loves auditory input. So the squeak is right up her alley and she’ll do what is necessary to get them to squeak. That motivation alone has her heel to toe walking which is a miracle in our home. Haven’t even needed to use the AFOs though we are going to. Maybe if I found these years ago we wouldn’t need them to begin with.Now most shoes when you put them on her she walks weird. Like a dog does when putting on shoes. The funny walk that people video tape and put on fb. It’s cute but counterproductive for our needs. These are the first shoe she walked naturally in, didn’t panic when the shoe was on, and didn’t send her into sensory overload. It’s a miracle I tell you.Watching her run heel to toe is tear jerking. She loves the squeak and it urges her to run to get the squeak faster. It’s such a huge deal.Her leg tendon/muscles aren’t so tight. Part of her PT is massaging and stretching the tendon so it’s not so taught. Which is a fear of toe walking kids. As well as the surgery a lot have to go through by cutting the Achilles’ tendon and reattaching it. Toe walkers over time make it so tight that that’s the only option. It happens a lot to them in their teens. I absolutely do not want that for my baby. Intervention is paramount. These are priceless miracle shoes for us.The designs are super freaking adorable as well as the names of the shoes. I mean come on, those are amazing and whoever thought them up was a genius.I loved them so much we got two pairs for my daughter. One for inside and outside. We may get a third if the AFOs stretch out the shoe. Tbh I’m just happy she’ll wear them and excited there’s so many different designs I’d buy the whole dang collection. We bought Duchess Bubble Sparkles the unicorn and Leo Longfire the dragon for her (so far and I mean how cute are those names) and Captain Zuga the pirate skull shoe for my 16 month old. These are this houses shoes from now on and I won’t buy any others.My only plea is the sizes stop at 13. We got 10s for her due to the AFO you need to buy a bigger size and they don’t have half sizes which tbh isn’t a big deal at all. But. They stop at size 13. Please please please from the bottom of my heart make them for bigger kids. We have time till her foot gets there but I’ll be devastated when she outgrows the last size shoe. I mean we have time probably years in fact (I hope). I’m even tempted to buy one of each size just to have them for the future just in case.Can’t say enough about these shoes. Oh they have a squeaker you can turn off and on I’m not sure if I mentioned that. Sweetest sound I’ve ever heard as it only squeaks when you walk heel to toe. Super soft material with give. Both my kids seem to do awesome in them and my daughter is flourishing in them. Can’t say enough amazing things about them.Miracle shoes. Pure and simple.

Squeaky shoes
The shoes are too stinking cute. Absolutely adore all the different designs. High quality. Good Straps. A bit big on my LO but can't wait for him to squeaking around the house. Will definitely be purchasing other designs!

Cute shoes
My son absolutely loves these shoes, follow their size guide. The squeaking is not too loud. They're also lightweight and breathable which is what I look for in shoes for him.

Haha I missed the part that they squeak!
My son absolutely loves these shoes and I did not do my due diligence with reviews and details as I usually do. So it was an utter surprise when he started squeaking as he started running. He picks these shoes to wear 8/10 times and they are holding up to his constant running and jumping. Got a size 8 and he’s got some room to grow but they aren’t so loose that they fall off.-They seem comfortable.-The style is adorable.-The quality is holding up.-I can turn the squeaking off (he’s figured out how to turn it back on)-They are functional for play and went well with his Winnie the Pooh Halloween costume.

Love these
I really wanted squeaky shoes for my 17month old. First, you can turn off the squeaker if you want which I think is cool. Second, for someone younger, the noise isn’t every step. They do have to hit it right to make noise and my son walks more on his tip toes. I love hearing the noise. The little dog detail is cute and the height is perfect with stability. They are super easy on and off. Love watching him walk by and confuse the dogs with the noise. Will definitely purchase another pair. These have encouraged our son to be more mobile outside and not always wanting to be carried.

Squeaky shoes
My grandson hasn’t received this gift for his first birthday yet. So I can only rate it based on my experience. The product looks like the photos only the fabric is shiny which I think is beautiful. But the shoes are hard to make squeak with my hands. I’m afraid if I can’t make the squeaker squeak then my grandson won’t either. Buy the ditching looks good and the bottoms are cute. The switch is easy to move.I’d order from them again. A shoe box instead of a cloth bag would be better for gift giving.

The ONLY shoes I buy for my toddler
We are obsessed with Ikiki at our house! We have 8+ pairs purchased over the past few years.1. Cute designs & squeakers!What first drew me in was the cute design and the squeaker feature. The shoes squeak when the toddler steps, which is sooo fun for new walkers. My toddler LOVED it and was racing around the house with delight.Best also: You can turn off the squeakers independently. Once my toddler started walking faster, it was nice to turn one of the shoes squeakers off. Or going to church, we turn them both off.Between the design and the squeaks, we get comments every time we wear these shoes anywhere. Countless Moms and Grandmas have asked me what are those shoes and where can I get them 😅2. Wide fitThe real MVP of this shoe is the wide design. Every time I try to buy a Carters or some other shoe, they NEVER fit my kiddo. If you struggle to find shoes that actually fit your toddler, try these. (Seriously, we just stopped trying to buy other brands.)3. Shoes & SandalsI also love that they come in sandals as well as tennis shoes. We can keep wearing our favorite shoes all through the summer!4. Mix & MatchBecause we have so many pairs, my nearly 3 yo has taken to mixing & matching. She loves to wear one puppy shoe and one flower shoe. 😂 Just a fun way to encourage her creativity and self expression!
